    On Catawiki: Aston Martin DB4 Casco Ex-racer 1961 for sale.

    For the brave, the very, very brave:

    The good part? It's in IJmuiden, so you can hop on the ferry from Newcastle to IJmuiden to pick it up. That's the easy part, I suppose.
    I know two addresses where skilled bodyworkers can make this into a new car again. Both are capable bodyworkers (one restores vintage Bugattis)

    Could you race this in historic events if there's no Chassis number?

    If you could, the estimate looks low, if not, it seems a VERY, VERY brave purchase.

    I guess someone may take a punt and hope they can come up with history for it.

    Although, on further examination, there are a lot of bits there.

    I discussed this AM with the guys at the workshop. The idea is that it's a Superlegerra indeed. If that's the case, welding will be very, very difficult... We had one in the workshop about 10 yrs ago. I remember that opening the bonnet felt like opening a newspaper: wafer-thin and super-light. Very easy to fold, bend or worse. Welding that is an ART.

    The good part is that running gear (clutch, g/box etc) is from Jaguar!

    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Historic racing car identities can be a real minefield. This would be a real gamble.
